• Notes

  The following information was provided by Steven Charles Trolinger 11 May 2020: Charles E Trolinger Sr. and Mary Alma Farish were married " At High Noon" at her parents home in Red Oak AR. on Feb. 2, 1905. I have a copy of the wedding invitation and a photo of them sitting in a car after the ceremony. Their oldest child William "Don" McDonald Trolinger was born 1906, passed in 1990. His wife, Ozella Presley Trolinger lived 1906- 1990. The next child, Thelma Trolinger Bobbitt was born 4/12/1910 and passed 3/12/ 1935 of dust pneumonia, exactly six weeks to the day after she married Glen Bobbitt. Glen remarried to Thelma's best friend, Lois, two years later and they were married for 71 years. I met them both at an assisted living facility in Amarillo shortly before they passed. The had a daughter who died in infancy. I'll track down dates for Maureen Trolinger Boxwell, the third child of "Charley" and Alma. He [Charles Ernest Trolinger Sr.] passed of liver disease on 5/28/1933. Alma passed on 8/29/1961.
